"Make me a Spotify playlist from Radiohead's last show" → done.

An MCP server that connects setlist.fm and Spotify. Tell Claude which artist and show you want — it fetches the real setlist, matches every track on Spotify, and creates the playlist.

Works with Claude Code and Claude Desktop.

Example

You:    Create a playlist from Metallica's most recent show.

Claude: Created "Metallica — Live Setlist (09-01-2024)"
        Setlist from Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, Barcelona — 09-01-2024.
        21/22 tracks matched.
        → https://open.spotify.com/playlist/...
You:    Which songs does The National always play live vs. their rarities?

Claude: Always played (last 10 shows): Bloodbuzz Ohio, Terrible Love, Mr. November
        Rarities (played once): Sorrow, Available, Green Gloves
        Never played live: 34 studio tracks

  • Searches Spotify for each track with fuzzy matching for live variants

  • Creates a Spotify playlist and returns the URL

  • mode="latest" — most recent show

  • Diffs live setlists against full studio discography (always played / never played / rarities)

Prerequisites

1. Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/emarkou/setlistify.git
cd setlistify
python3.11 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Configure credentials

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env:

SETLISTFM_API_KEY=your_setlistfm_key

  2. Create an app → select Web API

  3. Add http://localhost:8888/callback as a Redirect URI

  4. Copy Client ID and Client Secret

3. Register with Claude Code

claude mcp add setlistify \
  /path/to/setlistify/.venv/bin/python \
  -- /path/to/setlistify/server.py

Or add to ~/.claude/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "setlistify": {
      "command": "/path/to/setlistify/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/path/to/setlistify/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

4. Register with Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "setlistify": {
      "command": "/path/to/setlistify/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/path/to/setlistify/server.py"],
      "env": {

  /path/to/setlistify/server.py
